The Town recently signed the Small Business Friendly Local Government Charter, which is an initiative by the Small Business Development Corporation (SBDC). The SBDC's primary role is to encourage, promote, facilitate and assist in the establishment, growth and development of small business in Western Australia. Throughout the Small Business Sector, several services are provided by SBDC including (but not limited to):

Advisory services;

Commercial tenancy advisory service; and

Policy, advocacy and advice to government (State and Local).

The SBDC's initiative commenced in August 2016 and seeks to help pave the way to more productive relationships between small business and local government in Western Australia. The Town is pleased to announce it is looking to improve the way it interacts with small businesses operating in its community, to ensure that it is offering an attractive location in which to establish and grow a small business.
